Client Testimonials

“This will attest to the fact that I have worked with Mr. Scott Bernstein on dozens of cases for almost 20-years. We have worked cases involving criminal fugitives as well as stolen children. I have found Mr. Bernstein to be very effective, professional and ethical. We have dealt with very traumatize parents, local police and federal agents. He has never disappointed me with his professionalism…not once in those almost-twenty years.”

"I think is was the best course I have ever been thru. The knowledge of Scott's background is jst mind blowing. The way he teaches you is a way that no other instructor I have ever had in the past! I took the ACT 235 class for PA and his course blew my mind in everyway with the aspect of survival and how to carry out your duties. I would hope to work with him someday in the field."

Scott is an exceptional trainer. I enjoyed my time and money well spent to learn about my career and life situations out in the world. I had a chance to meet other recovery Agents in the the business. Tactical training was A-1 and alot of fun to do but when you get into the field it will be even GREATER and a RUSH. I will bring others to see about Scott and his associates to prove to them that this is it! Get the suspect/get the money! Got to meet alot of cool people! Get the Booty! Thanks alot Scott!
